Although these guidelines are primarily intended for the prevention and control of venereally transmitted diseases, they are also useful for control of other infectious diseases caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites.
The emphasis of the Biosecurity Guidelines for Control of Venereally Transmitted Diseases is to control the transmission of: Taylorella equigenitalis (Contagious Equine Metritis Organism; CEMO); Equine arteritis virus (EAV); and Equine herpesvirus-3 (EHV-3; equine coital exanthema virus).
